Description: The number of days per year with peak temperature over 90ºF is expected to rise significantly, especially under a higher emissions scenario4 as shown in the map above. By the end of the century, projections indicate that North Florida will have more than 165 days (nearly six months) per year over 90ºF, up from roughly 60 days in the 1960s and 1970s. The increase in very hot days will have consequences for human health, drought, and wildfires.
